In the framework of the EC-funded research project VITAL, MediaNet lab presented at EC premises during the second review meeting, the v2.0 of the VITAL NFV Manager: A lightweight NFV Orchestrator, capable of composing, deploying, instantiating and managing a Virtual Satellite Network (i.e. a Network Service which includes beyond the terrestrial VNFs, also virtualised Satellite […]

Single Root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) in networking is a very useful and strong feature for virtualized network deployements. SRIOV is a specification that allows a PCI device, for example a NIC or a Graphic Card, to share access to its resources among various PCI hardware functions: Physical Function (PF) (meaning the real physical device), from it […]

In this post we will show how to configure a compute node in OpenStack to launch Docker containers. We assume that you already have a working OpenStack installation. The configuration we describe below worked for OpenStack Juno, while the controller and compute nodes were running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Install Docker and Docker driver for OpenStack on […]

In the frame of the EU funded ICT T-NOVA Project, Medianetlab will host one of the project’s pilot sites. The project has presented an initial reference demonstrator architecture based on the integration of Openstack and Opendaylight constituting the Virtualised Infrastructure Manager for the Network Function VIrtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI. The first take on T-NOVA high-level architecture […]

This guide describes in detail the steps needed for integrating OpenStack Juno with Neutron ML2 networking plugin with OpenDaylight Helium SR2 using GRE Tunnels. Be careful to replace <SOMETHING HERE> with the appropriate values. Also it is important to know that one OpenDaylight manages only one OpenStack deployment. The guide consists of 9 sections. Prerequisites Erase all instances, […]
